Dormitories and School Residence
Academy houses are located in local, gated communities with luxury accommodations including tennis courts and swimming pools and close proximity to the school. The houses are traditional American single family homes featuring commons areas such as the living room and kitchen, bedrooms (approximately 2 kids to a room), and spacious bathrooms. Some of the real perks to life in an Academy dorm is that meals are all home cooked and served in the house, not in a cafeteria, and if the students in a house want to go somewhere it's very easy to plan since each house has its own van and housemaster.

Football, Cross Country, Golf, Swimming, Basketball, Soccer, Baseball, Tennis, Track, Volleyball, and Cheerleading are among the athletic programs offered by the Academy. Tampa's beautiful weather allows students to take advantage of many outdoor activities!
